Police: Women stole wallets from 50 Kings Island guests

Two Northern Kentucky women have been indicted on charges they stole wallets and credits cards from more than 50 visitors at Kings Island.

The Warren County Grand Jury Friday indicted Trisha Kesterman, 32, of Erlanger, and Tracie Jackson, 25, of Covington, on multiple counts of theft and safecracking. Kesterman also faces an additional charge of receiving stolen property.

The two allegedly broke into 30 lockers at the Mason amusement park between June 6 and July 2, snatching nearly $10,000 in cash, credit cards, wallets, cameras, cell phones and even a city of Dayton special police ID.

Authorities say Kesterman and Jackson admitted to breaking into the lockers and using the stolen credit cards at area stores.

Police apprehended the two after Kings Island officials received an anonymous tip on July 2 identifying them as suspects and alerting staff the two planned to visit the park that day.

Police showed park officials store surveillance video of two suspects allegedly using a stolen credit card and park officials were able to identify Kesterman from her Kings Island season pass, according to a police report.

Several stolen wallets were recovered from Kesterman's vehicle, police say. Kesterman and Jackson remain in custody at the Warren County Jail.
